Felix Landis came with his family in 1856, and located on section 14, his present home. He bought his place of Charles Wood in 1855. Mr. Wood afterward went to California, where he probably died. The log house built by Mr. Wood, and where Mr. Landis lived for many years, is still standing near his residence. Mr. Landis was born in Ohio December 27, 1807. He removed with his parents to Indiana when a young man, and was married in Carroll county, that State, to Leathe Armstrong, a native of East Tennessee, born in 1816. She removed with her family to Indiana in 1831. They have had six children, five of whom are still living – John, Joseph, Emeline, now Mrs. L. M. Lockwood; Rudolph, and Martha, now Mrs. John E. Miller. They lost their fifth child, Mary J., at the age of one year. Mr. and Mrs. Landis are members of the German Baptist Church.
